• y <br />T <br />. f <br />i <br />I try to tell my wife, but I. can't understand a loss <br />of a diamond that I never had being a loss to me. <br />Now I live on the Arkansas drainage. We have <br />operated since long — when did you come to Colorado? <br />Applebaum <br />McCormick Good, you were herd when Charles Compton ijas <br />secretary of the Salida Chamber of Commerce and <br />before the Frying Pan was even a feature we still <br />arranged with the Upper Arkansas River in Colorado to <br />release water to the Salida White Mater Race. I <br />presume you know about that. As recently as last <br />sumIrier, we held water back to accommodate the rafters <br />who own no rights because we love them and wanted to <br />help them. Not many of them called that I recall to <br />say "hay, great man thanks ". What I am saying is <br />that I think that under the situation today, 1986, <br />owning apparently few if any water rights, you still <br />managed to take in $60 million bucks, which is a lot <br />of money. we are delighted for you and I of all <br />people am no foe of yours, neither am I going to let <br />You have a diamond that somebody else has, in this <br />case water that flows in the river, but to that end <br />we are seeking here to provide that to a legitimate <br />goal. Have you ever approached the Water <br />Conservation Board for a request for any instream <br />flow anywhere for any purpose? <br />Applebaum I have not. <br />McCormick Do you know that any of your rafters have? I don't. <br />I'm not trying to preach to you. I'm just asking you <br />some questions. What I'm try to say is, I'm not <br />aware that any river rafters have used existing law <br />to heighten or extend their own advantage that is <br />available under the _W today. <br />
